So it’s Week 18 and I’ve been told that I have finally started to look fully preggo.  I’m starting to feel tiny flutters inside and I’ve had to pull out my maternity clothes from the first round.  Good thing I kept everything.  I still haven’t gained any weight, which worries me a bit but there’s definitely something growing because the belly is firm and round now.  Or maybe I have a tumor.  Whatever it is, it’s making me uncomfortable when I sleep at night and my back is starting to feel it too.  The congestion is the same but Breathe Right strips are now my best friends at night.  I also got a steroid nasal spray from my doc but I haven’t used it yet.  The headaches have subsided a bit and I’m feeling pretty good overall.  Next ultrasound is on March 11th.

Pretty soon I won’t be able to pick up or carry KK like I do now and she’s probably gonna hate it.  Regardless, she knows why my tummy is getting bigger and sometimes she’ll point to it and say, “baby brother’s in there”. It’s hard to believe that I’m almost at the half-way point already.  So glad we are heading to Hawaii on Thursday.  It’s the next best thing to a babymoon.  The grandparents, Brother, Joy, and Alice are joining us so I may get to relax a little more than I usually do on a family trip with KK.  Only 4 more months of work before I can take a break and get ready for our newest member of the family.  Can’t wait.
